If this were a business run by an observant, Kosher-keeping Jewish man who was spending a good deal of his profits trying (with success!) to outlaw bacon, shrimp, and cheeseburgers in America (even for health reasons, mind you), I can guarantee you there would be mass protests.

If an observant Muslim woman were trying to force all women in America to wear some kind of head-covering in public at all times (in order to promote modesty, reduce teen pregnancies, and reduce rape, she might say), would Americans be lining up around the corner to pat her on the back and give her more money for her efforts?

No. Nor will you see either of those things happening, because those personal and religious beliefs are exactly that: PERSONAL and RELIGIOUS. That woman should be free to cover herself or not as she sees fit. That man should be free to abstain from and avoid foods according to his beliefs and conscience. They do not seek to take away your rights when they exercise theirs.

Yet many this day applaud the efforts of a man who would like to take AWAY the basic rights of others in order to force his religious views on an entire nation.
